    “Danmedown” I think I’ve finally started to figure out why you love your job so much... it allows you to consume as much beer as you want at what ever time of the day, and edit it to make it look like you’ve only had one at 4 in the arvo.... bloody genius Harry

    I honestly love friendships where you can just give each other shit for hours on end 🤣 Dan definitely deserved those Danmedowns, gotta love it when you can look after your mates.

    @worthy_escapes Před 2 lety +12

    "Danmedowns" I absolutely love that you can give back to your mates, the friendship you have is obvious in that video. Thanks to Dan for sharing his life with us as well, because that can't be easy to do.
    Please continue to do what you do, and I hope Dan can continue to live the best life he has for as long as he can.

  • @michaelrawlings5899
    @michaelrawlings5899 Před 2 lety +11

    Harry all I can say that this is one of the best episodes that you have done. You can see the friendship between you and Dan. That's what mates are for to rip the crap out of each other. It was also great to compare your setups and see that there may be some differances ( major differances ) and price points but, you go with what you can afford. Maybe if the future there can be more Danmedowns.

  • @chriswilli36
    @chriswilli36 Před 2 lety +2

    Danmedowns - great episode. It’s awesome you got to help out your best mate. I am fairly new to you channel but I’m loving the cooking tips. We have a plan to do a lap in a couple of years and camp cooking is something I am so looking forward to. Keep up the great work!

  • @lentilbeanz

    Been getting back out and about with my young family, your vid’s have really helped with the motivation, this one especially so. Our setup is at best 10k worth and heaps of ‘danmedowns’ but it works for our use scenario and we’re loving it.

  • @edmondngai5024

    @chrisdardis4794 Před 2 lety +4

    Great vid! I love my 100 (used as a tourer) and agree with Dan... the fuel cost will take many many kms to equalize. Plus it is just so dependable ... has got me and my family all over and back again. My youngest scratched a nice big love heart on the bonnet when she was 3, just enhanced it's value:). All praise the 100!

    love your episodes, you are honest and down to earth and feel like you'd be truly genuine as a mate and friend to know, your mate is honestly lucky to know you! keeo up the good work and don't let the race to fame get the better of you as a person

  • @kevwells
    @kevwells Před 2 lety +1

    Danmedowns, great seeing you 2 together having a bit of fun and living life. None of us know when or how it ends we just have to live it, and to me Dan has a huge advantage and a bit step ahead of anyone else who is essentially not living.

  • @Bassbunker

    great video and awesome to see such a candid friendship with DAN...medowns. would be cool to hear a separate segment getting into the detail of front vs rear folding camper trailers.

  • @wandering_off
    @wandering_off Před 2 lety

    "Danmedowns" what a great episode to go over the pros and cons from a cheaper set up to a more expensive one. And to be able to do that with your best mate made for a great viewing clip. And I agree with Michael Rawlings, more Dan segments to explore the various camper trailer options and maybe off road capabilities of the older style camper trailers :)

  • @ruckus_bj
    @ruckus_bj Před 2 lety +1

    You’re a good bloke Harry for the danmedowns. We all have a mate in our lives that is always up against a battle so anytime we’re able to help out with little things is always a great feeling. Onya bloke

  • @shaunmalivindi1309
    @shaunmalivindi1309 Před 2 lety

    @old4wds_aus Před 2 lety

    Great video mate!! So good to show that it can be done with the simple gear on a budget 👌
    We got lucky with our son, he didnt like warm bottles which made camping alot easier, pre boil water and keep it in the tent for the night.

  • @meakesey
    @meakesey Před 2 lety

    Danmedown! My wife daughter and I just did 5 weeks touring in our 150 using our RV-5. Watching all this camper trailer talk and seeing the ease of setup and so much space really makes me want to consider making the jump over to trailer life 🤔🤔

    "Danmedowns" for the win!! This was an awesome video, you can tell you lads are a couple of milk crates!! Would love to see cooking videos with Harry and Dan, ripping and vibing of each other!! As for the camping setup's, buy what you can afford, most important thing is being able to get out there and enjoy time away from the stresses of life. If you're worrying about keeping up with the Jones's, then you're never going to enjoy the moment.

    Danmedowns - good to see a video like this. We've gone through the evolution - Swags, 2nd hand aussie trailer and now a 2nd hand van. I always cant justify the cost of buying a brand new setup. I'm sure if you did enough camping you could but for the majority of us the 2nd hand market has some ripper deals (even with a splash of covid tax)

  • @j.b.struckinadventures4993

    “Danmedowns” Dan and I are on the same page. Nothing at all wrong with his set up especially if you’re going camping every now and then. It’s different if it’s for your work and you nearly live out of it. Make do with what you’ve got as long as it helps you get out there Dan 👍🏻
